Same thing happened in Spain decades ago.
Roll out solar.
Prices skyrockets
Economy tanks
People suffer.
You marxist communist type never learns. They believe they are smarter than those other communists, and “The Plan” will work this time under their leadership
get out your green solar panels, electric cars and windmills! what? not good enough?
Too bad, not sad. Let them eat cake
Shaddap and buy a Tesla.
the coming variable rates will kill people...
it’d be better to shut off power to some ares than jack the price in peak hours
people might die, and it might be inconvenient, but think of thousands getting power bills in the $thousands every month, that you will never be able to pay and will lose your power for nonpayment
“...the price of electricity in California last year jumped to 18.15 cents per kilowatt-hour...”
Where? PG&E bills me 24.4 cents per kWh for Teir 1 power, and just petitioned the CPUC for permission to jack it up to 24.9!
18.16 cents per kWh?
Hook me up!
Exactly right. California is a blueprint on how to badly screw most anything up especially energy.
I guess those interruptible shit fuels, aka solar and wind, don’t work as firm fuel supplies. Who’d have thunk that?
An excellent explanation as to why wind, solar and battery storage don’t work on a large scale.

They’ll be just fine. When nearly everybody in the State lives in a tent on the beach they won’t need much power. Life will be wonderful again just like in the “old days”. The worst that could happen is stretching a hamstring while tossing a frisbee!
If only there was a way to have those who want it this way be the ones most inconvenienced by it..
This is what mismanagement looks like.
Biden will solve this problem by cancelling more pipeline projects.
Gee, this would seem like a great opportunity to build power plants, especially nukes.
Oh, wait.
California.
Elections have consequences.
“issued a “flex alert” that asked the state’s consumers to reduce their power use “to reduce stress on the grid and avoid power outages.”
Sure I’ll reduce just as soon as you reduce criminal foreign invaders from entering the state
making the problem even worse all the producers are leaving the state just as fast as they can.
